The Barchessa at Villa Alessandri is located in Mira, right opposite the Brenta river. It is guarded by a gate topped by two huge busts of the Emperors Caesar and Alexander, which were sculpted in honor of the villa’s first owner, Cesare Alessandri.

The Barchessa is the home of a superb series of frescoes that have been attributed to Giannantonio Pellegrini, the person who inspired Tiepolo a few decades later. The remarkable frescoes depict a part of the tale of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, such as the moment when Daphne turns into a tree to escape from Apollo.
